Adalberto Trejo, a telecommunications specialist with Certified
Telecom in Rio Grande City, TX, sent in these photos, all exemplifying
a favorite, and perennial, editorial desk theme here at Cabling
Installation & Maintenance and CablingInstall.com. And that theme is:
What not to do. We’ll let the photos and captions as provided speak
for themselves. Thanks Adalberto!

Bad cabling by the company installing phone
system. The white plenum cable is mine. The
blue one is theirs. Rather than run their cable to
the desired destination, they cut my cable and
connected their cable to mine. I guess they were
too tired to run cable that day.

Something you don’t want to do...never tie your cable to a
power line.
